Sigh, in this world, you can't make money even when you want to, and you can't blow up your account either. Yesterday, I thought for sure that this RIVER I shorted would blow up and put on a fireworks show, but today when I looked, I actually made money. It seems like things never go as we wish. Alright, then I'll take the money I made and give out another round of red envelopes to everyone, let’s have some fun together. Just leave a comment in the comment section saying 'Old Tang shorted RIVER and made money!' to receive an airdrop token red envelope. I’ll start with 1888 of them, and if that’s not enough, I’ll add more to ensure everyone gets a share!

Everyone is asking why these people are staking all their ETH? They also have to wait two months for it to take effect. The amount of ETH waiting to join the Ethereum PoS network has surpassed 3.33 million, setting a new historical high. According to the validator queue tracking website validatorqueue, since December 26, 2025, the amount of ETH waiting to join the Ethereum PoS network has been continuously increasing, currently reported at 3,330,385, setting a new historical high, valued at approximately 9.67 billion dollars, with an expected activation delay of about 57 days and 20 hours. This reflects a sustained strong demand for staking, mainly from Ethereum treasury companies and institutions like BitMine, which have recently staked large amounts of ETH they hold. In contrast, the amount of ETH exiting the Ethereum PoS network queue is only 832, valued at approximately 2.417 million dollars, with a waiting time to exit of about 21 minutes. $ETH

Reading the JST Q4 2025 report: Value realization stands out, growth potential is promising
From the JST Q4 2025 report, it is clear that this project rooted in the TRON ecosystem is putting long-term value construction into practice. Unlike some projects that remain at the conceptual stage, JST this quarter has demonstrated its strength with tangible development and data, especially with the implementation of the buyback and burn mechanism and the stable operation of JustLend DAO, which constitute core supportive factors.
The market's response to positive news has always been direct. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Binance spot market
prices have been running in the range of 0.03 USDT to 0.045 USDT, and since the buyback and burn proposal was passed on October 21, the price has steadily strengthened from 0.032 USDT, reaching a high of 0.045 USDT on December 3, with a cumulative increase of 40%. As of January 21, 2026, the JST price has stabilized at $0.04364, and this trend shows the market's rational recognition of the project's value.
If you ask me, in the current market situation where things are uncertain, where is the best place for funds? My answer is very clear: check out Binance's incentive program for USD1. This is not some obscure dog mining, but rather a platform offering real cash to distribute 'salaries' to existing funds. The 40 million USD prize pool is right there, distributed over four weeks, and anyone holding USD1 can claim it. I did some calculations, and the annualized return is estimated to be in the range of 16% to 24%. You might say this annualized return doesn't seem particularly impressive? But you should know that at this stage, many people's accounts are showing negative fluctuations. In comparison, a certain, near 20% annualized cash inflow is valuable not for making you rich, but for allowing you to not only survive during the market's down times but also to steadily accumulate chips. If you put USD1 into a contract or leveraged account as collateral (which doesn't require you to open a position at all), your weight coefficient for obtaining airdrops directly becomes 1.2 times. This is equivalent to the official giving you a risk-free bonus buff. Many people might be too lazy to make this simple transfer, but it is this action that adds an extra 20% to your earnings. So from an investment strategy perspective, USD1 provides a rare 'half-time break' option. Instead of blindly trading in the market, frequently switching positions, and possibly losing due to 'overtrading', it’s better to transfer funds into this certain income channel. It is essentially a defensive counter-attack strategy: principal is safe, and there is a stable income flow, which allows you to maintain a good mindset while waiting for the market to show clearer mainstream trends. By the time the event ends on February 20, you will not only have your principal intact, but also an extra 'military salary' brought in by the WLFI airdrop, and at that time, participating in the market will feel completely different. At this current moment, this event shows strong appeal. It amplifies the utilization of funds through its rule design, providing participants with considerable and stable potential returns. For eligible users, seriously considering it as part of asset allocation is a very pragmatic choice. Register at Binance: https://binance.com/join?ref=YOU59
Ethereum network fees drop to the lowest since May 2017: This is not a recession, but the beginning of a revolution
Let me give you the most direct conclusion: Ethereum's historically low fees this time (averaging about $0.01 per transaction, and only $0.04 for complex DeFi operations) are not a signal of a quiet network, but rather undeniable evidence of a new ecosystem with high throughput and low cost created by a combination of technological upgrades and the explosion of Layer 2. This is a key step for Ethereum from being an "expensive experimental field" to becoming a "global financial infrastructure"; it is a real benefit for users, developers, and investors. Core data: "counterintuitive" combination of low fees + high transaction volume What is most surprising is not the low fees, but the simultaneous occurrence of low fees and high transaction volume:
From Spot to Leverage: DeepBook Margin Unlocks Trillions of Liquidity in the Sui Ecosystem
Whenever DeFi is mentioned, everyone tends to focus on yields and hot projects. But I believe that true long-term opportunities often lie in what people consider 'infrastructure' or 'boring backend' things. The DeepBook Margin I want to analyze today is such a key upgrade hidden in the 'water, electricity, and coal' layer of the Sui ecosystem. Simply put, this is a major surgery performed by the official core team of Sui, Mysten Labs, on their beloved child — the core liquidity layer DeepBook — transitioning the entire network's trading from the 'spot' era to the 'leverage' era.
I think among these heavyweight trading pairs, the most promising one is TRX. No need to say more, just buy ten thousand and hold them.

In early January, a shocking case broke out in the foreign trade circle of Yiwu, where a group of foreign trade merchants were cheated out of 23 containers and over 10 million in goods by a Jordanian businessman. This Jordanian trio had been painstakingly operating in Yiwu for several years, working hard to build connections and credibility, even establishing a local procurement company. In hindsight, it all seemed like a setup. When doing business with foreigners, one cannot talk about credibility; payment must be made before shipment. Honesty and trustworthiness are virtues of the Chinese, and have nothing to do with foreigners; they are, in fact, a soft spot that foreigners exploit. I once saw a factory owner who was jogging and having breakfast in the morning, but by around nine o'clock, workers were looking for him to collect materials and found he had vanished. It turned out he had run away, leaving behind a lot of unpaid debts to suppliers; he had already sold the factory, while the workers in the workshop were still producing. How talented he was! Such incidents happen in Yiwu every few years; first, small cash payments are made to build trust, then credit is extended and debts are paid, causing merchants to let their guard down, and finally, a big play is made. $BNB
BNB Chain's prediction trading volume breaks 20 billion. Where is this 'financial highway' headed?
According to Dune data, the cumulative trading volume of the prediction market on the BNB Chain has successfully surpassed 20 billion US dollars. Behind this is the concentrated release of its multi-dimensional core advantages, which include both the inherent advantages of the underlying mechanism and the accumulated ecological operations, forming a differentiated competitive edge in the prediction track of similar public chains. Supporting this trading volume are the joint efforts of multiple high-quality projects within the ecosystem. Currently, there are three core prediction market platforms on the BNB Chain that dominate the market and have all received investment support from YZi Labs, creating a healthy competitive ecological atmosphere. Among them, Opinion stands out as the leader, capturing 75% of the market share in daily trading volume, with a daily trading volume reaching 125 million US dollars. It is not only an outstanding project of the Binance Labs MVB program but has also completed a 5 million US dollars seed round financing. The platform mechanism is mature and operational activities are in place. Recently launched two-week Christmas & New Year points events cover various dimensions such as daily activity, trading volume competition, and exclusive rewards for specific wallet users, with a total reward of 100,000 points. Additionally, zero fees are set for limit orders and extra points are awarded, further activating user trading enthusiasm.
Avalanche (AVAX): Institutional Endorsement and Ecological Momentum Resonance, Continuous Release of Growth Potential
Avalanche, as a powerful player in the Layer 1 public blockchain arena, has always had its core competitiveness not just in a single technological breakthrough, but in a multi-dimensional synergy of technology, ecology, and institutional recognition. Founded by a team of professors from Cornell University, Ava Labs developed this public blockchain that launched its mainnet in September 2020. With its unique Avalanche consensus mechanism, it compresses transaction finality to sub-second levels (less than 1 second), and its theoretical TPS reaches 4500. Compared to Ethereum's confirmation time of over 12 minutes, the efficiency advantage is striking, which lays a solid foundation for undertaking institutional-level business.
Bitcoin's recent pullback has been quite harsh. It almost broke below $86,000, wiping out all the gains since January of this year, and the monthly return has turned negative, currently at -0.5%. It's worth noting that just on January 14, it had just exceeded $97,000, and now, from the peak, it has already fallen by nearly 10.9%. This round of decline is influenced by several factors. While geopolitical risks still exist, Bitcoin's safe-haven attributes seem to have not been reflected during this period; market expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts are also being adjusted, with concerns about tightening liquidity rising. More direct pressure may be coming from institutions—there has been a net outflow of funds from Bitcoin spot ETFs, coupled with the overall market undergoing deleveraging, leading to increased selling pressure. Historically, Bitcoin's performance in January has not been too bad. Since 2013, the average return in January is +3.81%, with a median of +0.62%. Over the past 13 years, there have been 7 years of gains and 6 years of losses in January, essentially a 50-50 split. However, a situation like this year’s, where it surged at the beginning of the month only to quickly retrace all gains and turn the monthly line negative, is indeed relatively uncommon. In my view, this pullback seems more like a concentrated release of short-term emotions and funding, and it does not necessarily indicate a trend reversal. Especially since the sustainability of ETF fund outflows still needs to be observed; if there is a renewed net inflow afterward, market sentiment could recover quickly. Additionally, from historical patterns, a decline in January does not mean there’s no chance for the entire year—over the past six years, there have been several years where January ended down, yet the year still finished up. In the short term, the market may continue to fluctuate, and the deleveraging process may not be over yet. However, if the macro environment does not worsen further, Bitcoin may gradually find support above $80,000. The overall trend this year will still depend on the Federal Reserve's actual actions, the allocation willingness of institutional funds, and broader macro liquidity conditions. Historical data can be referenced, but each cycle's structure is different; this cycle, in particular, has been altered by the involvement of ETFs and traditional institutions, leading to potentially more frequent volatility, but I believe the medium to long-term trend is not over yet. $BTC
